Sometimes, the Dragonborn cannot pick up the Ceremonial Axe if the sword was grabbed first. If this happens, the solution is to reload the auto-save that should have been activated upon entering the cave, and pick up the axe before the sword.

Using the Unrelenting Forceshout on the axe will allow it to be retrieved from the wall. The level of the shout is inconsequential.

A blast caused by use of Dawnbreaker can fly the Ceremonial Sword to the shelf behind the coffin.

To obtain the sword, one must climb on one of the standing coffins and use a Whirlwind Sprint shout to get on the shelf.
